I'm using wst with 40 cal 180gr berry bullets. Is there really a difference between others powders/brands? I see people making recommendations on powders but im wondering if there is a reason or if it just happened to be the first powder they tried and stuck with it.
Is there a difference between powders for ipsc standard

Yes there is a difference. Firstly some powders will work, and others won't (different applications require different powders).
Next: from the set of powders that work, some will work better than others. Some will work, but will be:
- too dirty
- too expensive
- too hard to get a reliable supply of
- too inconsistent (lot-to-lot variations).
- probably five other reasons that don't spring to mind immediately.
However: are there a variety of powders that will work well? yes.

p.s. My personal favorite for your bullet weight is WSF, but other powders work fine.

why WSF? wst is a faster powder isnt it?
I like the versatility of WSF and use it for IPSC loads in 9, 40 and 45.
Yes, WST is faster than WSF. I have tried WST in the past, but to be honest, cannot remember why I stopped using it. My preference of WSF is not meant to say other's choices are not valid.
